THANXS TO EVERYBODY THAT SENT IN THEIR REVIEWS!

Once Richard saw Xavier hit the floor he ran over to him and searched for the key. He found it in his back pocket and then took it out. He unchained Kori from the wall and put her over his left shoulder and then ran to the hospital.

After about a half an hour of running it started to ran and the blood from Kori's rags started to wash off and leave a trail. Richard was running along the side walk and a car drove by, but came to a stop.

"Are you ok?" a man from the passenger seat asked.

"I need to get her to the hospital, and fast!" Richard said as he got into the back of the car and then drove off.

At the Hospital:

"Somebody help!" Richard yelled as he ran into the hospital and doctors ran over to him. They tried to take Kori from Richard.

"No she stays with me!" Richard yelled.

"Sir you can't stay with her," a nurse told him. Then Richard pulled out one of his guns.

"I stay with her!" Richard yelled again.

"Yes sir!" the nurse said as she took him to her room. When Richard walked in he looked at Kori. She had a breathing mask on, her cuts and burns were covered up, she had on the same rags. Her hair was a mess and face had dirt on it. Her eyes were closed and her breathing slow.

"Is she gonna make it?" Richard asked from the door way and everybody turned to look at him.

"We're not sure," a nurse said.

"I have to go make some calls," Richard said before he went outside of Kori's room and looked into the window. She was sleeping, but he could still tell she felt pain. Richard pulled out his cell and called Rachel.

"Hey Rachel," Richard said as tears started to form in his eyes.

"Oh my gosh! Richard! Where have you been?" Rachel asked. Karen, Gar, Vic, Roy, Allen, and even Kate, Terra, and Carmen were behind Rachel trying to listen to what Richard were saying. They were at a lunch table and it was cloudy outside.

"I've been looking for Kori, and I found her. I'm at the hospital with her, come fast," Richard said before he hung up the phone and looked through the window to the outside world. Once again it was starting to rain.

"Come on!" Rachel said before she stood up and started running to the hospital with everybody following her. When they got to the hospital they were wet, cold, and tired, but they didn't care.

"Richard! What's going on?" Garfield asked as he ran up to Richard. Richard was sitting in a chair with his head in his hands. There was a small puddle under his hands on the floor from his tears.

"Richard are you ok?" Rachel asked as she sat down next to him.

"It's my fault. She might have had a better chance if I was faster," Richard mumbled to himself.

"Richard what are you talking about?" Karen asked.

"She's in there dying because of me!" Richard yelled and looked up into their faces and they looked into his. His eyes were red, he had dirt on his face, and some blood on his clothes.

"Richard what happened to Xavier," Kate asked, looking into his eyes.

"I killed him," Richard said with hate in his eyes and then everybody backed away from him.

"Richard how could you?" Terra asked with a look of horror on her face.

"Easy. I looked into his eyes, pulled the trigger, and watched him hit the floor," Richard said with a smile, and then Kate slapped him.

"I loved him! And you killed him!" Kate yelled into his face before she started to cry.

"He was about to kill Kori and I love her!" Richard said as he stood up.

"I can kill you too so you can join him!" Richard added before he pulled out a gun and Kate screamed. Just then Richard felt somebody hit his head and he fell to the floor.

"Quick somebody grab the gun!" Karen yelled before Roy grabbed the gun and threw it to the other side of the room. After a few minutes Richard opened his eyes and jumped to his feet.

"Who hit me?" Richard asked with anger in his eyes.

"Richard you need to calm down," Allen said and put out his hands as a sign of peace.

"I said who hit me?!" Richard yelled.

"Roy did!" Terra said real fast and then Richard knocked Roy to the floor and started punching him.

"Why did you hit me!?" Richard said between punches.

"Because you were pointing a gun at her!" Roy said and then Richard stopped and backed into a wall. Roy got up holding his nose taking deep breathes.

"Roy I'm so sorry, I don't know what came over me," Richard said as he stood up and then ran out the door and into the rain.

"Where do you think he's gonna go?" Karen said once he was gone.

"I don't know, but it will be far away from here," Rachel said as she walked to the door and looked up into the sky.
